HOT!

Chapter
1 Ashley Whitten

Ashley
Whitten was THE teen pop star. She had a multi-platinum CD out,
number 1 songs on all the major radio stations, topped the Billboard
charts, and yet was still the sweetest girl and completely down to
earth. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes. She was medium height
and she was skinny. She had great style and every girl dreamed of
being her and all the guys thought she was hot.

She
walked up the steps to her house in LA. She was just coming home from
school where she found out she was almost failing like every subject.
She was wearing a pink tank top with pink beads on it, jean capris,
and really cute pink heels. Her long blonde hair was down and curly
with a pink headband. In her hands were a Louis Vitton bag and her
pink Ipod.

"I'm
home!" Ashley said closing the door behind her and putting her
stuff on the hall table.

"Ashley
Marie Whitten may we please see you in our office." Mrs. Whitten
called from upstairs.

Ashley
cringed at the tone of her mother's voice and the use of her full
name. She was in trouble for something. Ashley sighed and walked down
the hall to her mom and dad's office. She walked in and saw them
standing there with their arms crossed. She sighed and sat down in
one of the brown leather chairs.

"What
did I do exactly?" Ashley asked confused.

"YOU
ARE FAILING!" Mr. Whitten yelled, "Your principal called today
saying that you are getting very poor grades in all of your classes.
Well that is all of your classes except choir!"

"I'm
sorry I have some other stuff on my mind right now!" Ashley
retorted.

"Yes,
but your grades are very important." Mrs. Whitten said, "Your
father and I have made a decision that we feel is best for you."

"And
that would be…?" Ashley asked a little scared of what this
"solution" was.

"We
decided that since the semester just ended and all that this would be
the best time to do this. We are transferring you to Playa Linda High
School in Playa Linda, California. It's a small town and it is laid
back. You will be able to focus on your school work and all instead
of here where it's all the glitz and glamour of LA. You will be
moving in with your Uncle Johnny for the time being." Mr. Whitten
said.

"WHAT!?!?
You can't make me move. What about my career?" Ashley asked very
upset.

"You
will be able to drive to LA to do a couple of concerts and stuff, but
if you want to continue in this job you are going to have to bring
your grades up. We talked to your label and stuff and they support
our decision." Mrs. Whitten said, "You have no choice. Go pack,
you leave in 2 hours."

Ashley
just shook her head and ran upstairs to her room crying. She hated
her parents for doing this. They were going to ruin and her career.
She slowly packed everything into her pink, orange, and yellow Vera
Bradley duffel bag. Her mom and dad came up two hours later to tell
her it was time to go. She said goodbye to her puppy Jewel and then
she went out to the black Range Rover with her parents.

"Here,
come with us." Mr. Whitten said and Ashley sighed and followed.

Mr.
and Mrs. Whitten took her out to the large shed in the back.

"Well
now that we won't be with you…we thought you would need this."
Mrs. Whitten said.

Hey
maybe her parents weren't so bad after all…! Ashley hopped into
her new car and her parents got into the Range Rover. Ashley followed
them out of the driveway and on to the road. She listened to the
radio the whole way there. The drive there took about 2 hours. They
finally pulled up in front of a cute beach house and her parents
pulled into the driveway. She pulled into a spot in front of the
house on the street. She turned the car off and got out. She walked
over to her parents. She hadn't really ever known her Uncle Johnny
but her parents talk to him all of the time on the phone.

She
followed them up to the front door and they knocked. A couple seconds
later a brunette boy about 10 years old answered the door.

"Hi
sweetie is Johnny Durrant here?" Mrs. Whitten asked.

"Yea,
sure come on in. JOHNNY!" Derrick yelled.

They
all walked into the house and Johnny appeared about 30 seconds later.
He smiled and immediately went up to hug Mr. and Mrs. Whitten.

"It's
been so long since I've seen you!" Johnny said excited.

"Yea,
I know. And you remember Ashley. The last time you saw her I think
she was 4." Mrs. Whitten said.

"Yes
of course, hello Ashley." Johnny said and gave Ashley a hug.

"Hi
Uncle Johnny." Ashley said.

"Well
we will go get your stuff out of the car and up to the room you will
be sharing with Nikki in a second. First I would like you to meet
everyone." Johnny said, "GUYS COME ON DOWN ASHLEY IS HERE!"

All
of a sudden a lot of people appeared in the room. Nikki was the first
to speak.

"OMG
your Ashley Whitten!" Nikki said excited. "I'm sharing a room
with THE Ashley Whitten! I have to go tell Amber."

Nikki
ran off and Bradin rolled his eyes and laughed.

"Well
that was Nikki…I'm sure she'll get over the star struck thing
eventually." Johnny said and Ashley laughed. "This is Ava, we are
engaged. Then this is Derrick and that is Bradin and they are Ava's
nephews and Nikki is Ava's niece. Then this is Susannah and her
husband Matt and Jay and his girlfriend Erika."

"Hi."
Ashley said.

"Okay
well Sharon and Ken I will get you two drinks. Come on in and sit
down. Bradin will you go out and help Ashley bring her stuff in?"
Johnny asked.

"Yea
sure." Bradin said.

Bradin
and Ashley walked outside to the car.

"So
you're some famous singer or something?" Bradin asked.

"Yes,
famous pop singer." Ashley said.

"Well
that might explain why I've never heard of you." Bradin said.

"Not
a pop music fan or something?" Ashley asked.

"No,
its way too sugar coated." Bradin said.

"That's
why I love it. Life sucks enough, why not have something that can
make you happy?" Ashley asked.

"It's
too little kid-ish." Bradin said and Ashley laughed and rolled her
eyes.

"No,
it's just you don't think it's cool. Yes I do have connections
with Radio Disney, but it's not all little kid music. Pop is the
most misunderstood genre there is out there." Ashley said.

"Oh
yea and how is that?" Bradin asked.

"You
for example. You think all pop music is just yay I'm alive let's
make a song about it! That isn't true. It's just really upbeat
but it's not all like that. Older kids just shun it and are all
like I have to be rebellious and dark and like punk. I, on the other
hand am not going to be all dark and depressed just because that is
what everyone expects me to be." Ashley said.

"You
are really something else aren't you?" Bradin asked and Ashley
only smiled at him and walked away.

Bradin
watched her walk away for a couple of seconds in shock and then
followed her into the house and up to his sister's room. Once they
were done Bradin and Ashley sat down on the bed with Nikki.

"So
is it like really cool being a celebrity?" Nikki asked Ashley.

"It
can be cool. I mean I love performing and my fans are awesome, but
sometimes it is just way too stressful." Ashley said.

"Not
to sound mean or anything, but why are you here?" Nikki asked.

"No
it's okay. I'm here because of my grades. I am doing very poorly
in school right now so my parents said that I need to get out of the
whole Hollywood scene and focus on school. It sucks I looked at my
schedule and like all of my classes are remedial." Ashley said.

"Then
you might be in some of my brother's classes. He is in remedial
classes as well!" Nikki said and Bradin glared at her.

"Surfing…I
was so into becoming a better surfer that I put school last…but now
my aunt pulled me off the surf team." Bradin said.

"And
he overdosed on performance enhancing drugs." Nikki said and Ashley
gave Bradin and look that said "you did now did you?"

"Yeah,
once again thanks Nik." Bradin said, "I was really into being a
better surfer and I took drugs, fell down a flight of steps and ended
up getting my stomach pumped in the hospital with a nasty bruise
around my eye."

"So
you are a surfer? Well you fit the type. Blonde haired hot jock."
Ashley said. "You probably party every weekend, listen to punk
music, think you are the hottest guy in the world and have had about
50 girlfriends in three months."

"Hey
and you get mad when other people stereotype you." Bradin said.

"Okay
I have a bet for you." Ashley said and Bradin nodded, "You teach
me to surf and about the whole surfer world and I'll teach you to
dance and sing and all about the whole pop scene. Then we will see
whose judgments were right."
